Battle Beats: Powerful Songs About Fighting and Conflict

Verse 1: I’ve spent my years in hard work, worn thin but standing proud, Built a life from sweat and grit, but something’s missing now. When things get easy, I find myself longing for the fight, Like I’m only built for struggle, can’t settle down at night. It’s not that I don’t want the good, I’ve earned every single piece, But when I’ve got it all, I start craving that old release. Chorus: I work to make life simple, then I tear it all apart, Chasing something dangerous, like it’s branded on my heart. It’s like I’m fighting battles, even when there’s none to win, Built for the struggle, but I don’t know where to begin. I act like I’ve got nothing to lose, but I’ve got something to prove, A walking contradiction—never know which path to choose. Verse 2: I’ve built up walls and torn them down, just to feel the dust again, There’s peace in all this chaos, it’s the way I’ve always been. Drove cattle in the desert, laid foundations in the hills, But when all the work is done, I’m restless, searching for more thrills. Maybe it’s the fight I love, the sweat, the grit, the grind, I can’t stand a quiet life; it drives me out of my mind. Chorus: I work to make life simple, then I tear it all apart, Chasing something dangerous, like it’s branded on my heart. It’s like I’m fighting battles, even when there’s none to win, Built for the struggle, but I don’t know where to begin. I act like I’ve got nothing to lose, but I’ve got something to prove, A walking contradiction—never know which path to choose.

[Verse] Old Man Dave's been on the scene, a volunteer for years, He's a legend in this small town, but now he's lost his steer. Out of shape and lazy, he can't dodge a rolling bale, But when it comes to fighting fires, you know he’ll never fail. [Verse 2] He drives an old rusted pickup, from nineteen eighty-three, It barely keeps on running, but it’s good enough, you'll see. Cheap as all get out, he saves those dimes and pennies, He'd rather mend a busted hose, than spend it on some fancy. [Chorus] Old Man Dave's our hero, forgetful as can be, Can't work his iPhone well, but he’s family, don't you see? He may be slow and lazy, but he’s always got our back, In this little ol' town, he's the spark in the track. [Verse 3] His fire boots are scuffed up, his helmet’s lost its sheen, But when the siren wails, he's the quickest that you've seen. He might forget the numbers, of whichever street is right, But give him half a chance, and he’ll have the blaze in sight. [Verse 4] His wife's been on him lately, to shed some extra pounds, But Dave just laughs it off, says “round is a shape for clowns!” He loves his coffee black and strong, three sugars sometimes four, In the firehouse kitchen, he’s the first one through the door. [Chorus] Old Man Dave's our hero, forgetful as can be, Can't work his iPhone well, but he’s family, don't you see? He may be slow and lazy, but he’s always got our back, In this little ol' town, he's the spark in the track.

[Verse] In the hills of old Ireland near the stone Lived a lad so brave on his own Fought for freedom's dream never shown Michael Collins stood alone [Verse 2] With the whisper of the wind in his ear Stepping bold without any fear Led his people rebel cheer For a land he'd always hold near [Chorus] Oh Michael oh the hero we know In the shadows where the wild winds blow Fighting high and fighting low To the hero our heart shall go [Verse 3] In the night his footsteps so light He would vanish and take flight For his country he would fight Through the dark till morning light [Bridge] From the towns to the emerald green He was the hope never seen For a land pure and clean In his heart a burning dream [Verse 4] By the rivers and the old oak tree Stood a man who sought to be free Breaking chains setting spirits free Michael Collins the man was he

[Verse] In our town by the sea, where dreams have room to grow, There's a man ready to lead, making changes we all know, Alan Queiroz, the name that holds the key, Five-five-zero-three-five, for our future, you'll agree. [Verse 2] From the classrooms to the clinics, his promises are true, For culture, health, and education, he’s got a brighter view, Standing tall for Praia Grande, he’s fighting for us all, With Alan at the helm, we’ll never let our spirits fall. [Chorus] Vote for Alan, hear our plea, Five-five-zero-three-five, for you and me, With culture, education, health by his side, Let’s lift our voices, take a prideful ride. [Verse 3] In these windswept shores, where the sand meets the tide, Alan walks among us, with compassion as his guide, Listening to our stories, each heartache, each joy, A champion for the people, a leader to deploy. [Chorus] Vote for Alan, hear our plea, Five-five-zero-three-five, for you and me, With culture, education, health by his side, Let’s lift our voices, take a prideful ride. [Bridge] Together strong we’ll stand, as one community, With Alan Queiroz, envisioning unity, So come election day, let’s make our voices loud, For the betterment of Praia Grande, let’s all be proud.

[Verse] Keep pushing stay strong Rise up embrace the challenge No limits keep fighting Believe and achieve [Verse 2] Stay focused make it happen Keep going don't stop now The road is rough but steady We climb we never bow [Chorus] Push through push through We hustle fight survive Push through push through We rise keep dreams alive [Verse 3] Every setback's just a lesson Every fall a step to glory With sweat and faith together We'll rewrite our own story [Bridge] No giving in no fear We are the future bright With hearts of gold we stand Together we ignite [Chorus] Push through push through We hustle fight survive Push through push through We rise keep dreams alive

[Verse] Sun's risin' high over fields of green, Hand on the plow, workin' like a machine, Mama always said, you get what you sow, In the heat of the day, under that endless glow. [Verse 2] Boots in the dust, sweat on my brow, Ain't no time for rest, gotta work anyhow, Neighbors noddin', they know what it means, This life we live, ain't no in-betweens. [Chorus] Born to work for my money, ain't askin' for no handouts, Early to rise and late to bed, that's what it's all about, Keep those wheels turning, gotta make that sweet pay, Day by day, come what may, I'll keep the grind at bay. [Bridge] Moon's climbing high, casting long, cool shades, Calloused hands ache but they ain't never afraid, Dad's old words echo like an old refrain, "You gotta work the land, son, through joy and pain." [Verse 3] Barn lights flicker, day's drawing to a close, Still, there's that fire, in this heart that knows, From dawn to dusk, I’m out fighting fate, With every step I take, early, until it’s late. [Chorus] Born to work for my money, ain't askin' for no handouts, Early to rise and late to bed, that's what it's all about, Keep those wheels turning, gotta make that sweet pay, Day by day, come what may, I'll keep the grind at bay.
